Mrs. IsarkaY's Jewels.

It Is said in Paris that Mrs. John
 Mackay ownes the finest jewels in
 the world. Two specimens cer-
 tainly take precedence over any
 of their kind that are known. One
 is a sapphire that she bought for S150,0O0 from Russian Prince. It
 measures centimeter, about four tenths of an inch, in diameter, and
 has no defect. She owns also the most splendid emerald known. Among her other toys is necl- lace of pearls worth S1O0,000, and aset of corrals comprising brooch, crown, bracelet, etc, all of the most delicate rose color, each piece covered with diamonds. It took two years searching to complete this collection of gems, and there exists only one other like it, and that belongs to the Queen of Port ugal. Further than these are a pair of solitaries worth S425, ,000. One of them was bought at the salo of the effects of the Duke of Brunswick, and tho jeweler who was commissioned with the secur- ing its mate was upwards of two years in getting 1t. Most of these jewels, as well as a great quantity of invaluable lace, will probably come some day to the Princess Colonna, the daughter of Mrs. Mackay. Prince ColoDna is an Italian nobleman who met his wife in Paris. It is interesting, in mentioning these insignia of enor- nous wealth, to recall the time when John Mackay was an ordi- nary miner, picking away at the bottom of shaft at the trade union wages of S4 day. At that time he took his dinner from his cabin in the morning in tin pail, and the eatables were prepared by the skillful hands of the bonanza queen. Now he makes his millions tor, rather keeps them made) in N all street and on the Bourse, and Mrs. Mackay spends them in Paris. It is doubtful if any par venus more thoroughly and sin cerely enjoyed their elevation to the ranks of the mighty.-Balti- more American.

Improved Gunpo wder.

The charcoals hitherto used in the manufacture of gunpowder have been of comparatively low deusities and inhammable natures, as we'll as highly hygroscopic Mir. X. H. Durnford, of the Dartford Conservative Club, has, therefore, patented an invention, the object of which isto prepare a soft char coal, which shall have an extremely light density, ignite at low tenn perature, and exhibit very slight hygroscopic properties, and by its use in the manufacture of gun powder to produce gunpowder possessing the qualities of great energy and propelling power, com bined with moderate pressures when fired in q gun. The inven- ton consists chiefly in the produc- ton and use in gunpowder of Q charcal prepared from cork. The cork is put into cylinders and sub jected to q destructive distillation by heating the cylinders to such temperatures as will produce the charcoal required. The improved gunpowder is made from mixtures consisting of, first, saltpeter and cork charcoal, in the proportions of about S0 to 20 percent respect ively; second, saltpeter. cork char coal, and sulphur, the latter ingre- dient being in proportion varying from about l to 10 per cent. It is claimed that the gunpowder pro- duced by Mr. Durnford's process Is comparatively smokeless and n"u-hygroscopic Scientific Amer .c;;n.

Preservation of Eggs.

Australian eggs are preserved in the following simple manner: The vessels in which the eggs are to be placed are glass jars with patent stopers, vulcanized India rubber joints making them per fectly air tight As soon as the eggs have been collected, the jars are stood in hot water for some time, and left until the air in them has become thoroughly warm and rarefied. The jars having been heated, the eggs are wrapped up iu paper to prevent them knocking together, and placed in warm re- ceptacle, their pointed ends being uppermost. The jars are immedi
 ately closed up, and then, and not until then, are removed from the hot water. It is said that if this process is skillfully carried out. the eggs will be as fit for the breakfast table as the day they were laid, many months after they were put in jars. The great secret of success in carrying out this method is. no doubt, to thoroughly heat the air in the jars. The eggs will stand d better chance of keep ing, if the papar in which they are packed is previously baked and used warm. Patent stopper jars are not absolutely necessary, any stopper answering which effect ually excludes the air. At the late Birmingham, Eng, cattle show, prizes were offered for the best dozen of preserved eggs, and they were given, as was the case the year previous, to those preserved in simple lime and water, or pack ed in dry salt. Samples were shown covered with melted suit, beeswax, oil, or lard, and all these were good. But strange to say, one exhibit which had been rub- bed over with pure vaseline as soon as laid was the worst of all. All the eggs were putrid.-Scientific American.

1 attended the Beecher-Tilton trial from first to last, and was in court when the first juror was called and when the final verdict was rendered half a year after wards. I heard all the testimony of every witness and all the evi- dence that was introduced. I lis tened to the whole of every speech of all the lawyers on both sides week after week. I was personally acquainted with all the parties in the case, from Beecher and Hilton to Moulton, the Mutual Friend" I made notes of all the features of the trial that were published from day to day. And when all was over I left the courtroom wholly unconvinced that Beecher was guilty of the charge brought against him. I stated this fact of ten in print when he was alive, and I repeat it now that he is dead. John Swinton's Paper.

A Great Balloon.

The captive balloon proposed by Nj. G. Yon for the French exhi- bition in 1889 will have the enor- nous volume of 60,000 cubic me- ters. The maximum altitude for the ascensions will be 1000 meters, and it will be possible to take 100 passengers, winding engine of 600 horse power being employed. In the construction of this balloon, the following point is of some in terest: The surface of the balloon must always be tight, in order to prevent the damage which other wise n strong wind might cause. To preserve tigbtness, notwith- standing variations in temperature, another small balloon is placed in side the large one, and the volume of this small balloon, which is filled with atmospheric air, can bo in creased or diminished by pump ing in or exhausting air by means of an air pump, worked by an elec- tric motor on the car, the current being supplied by a twin cable from a dynamo on the ground Scientific American.

The Dramatic Festival.


For The opening performance by
Frederick Warde and his company al
Hollands Opera House the 3lst lust.
Virginius has been selected. Edwin
Forrest often expressed his opinion
that no play afforded scope for the
portrayal of so many and varied
phases of human emotion as does
Virginius. lie, as well as Mr.. John
Mccullough, regarded the title role
as the masterpiece Of their perform
ances. or late years Frederick Warde
has become SO closely identified with
the character that his name is now as
inseparably connected with it as are
the names of Booth with Hamlet or
Salvini with Othello. The prrss of
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Piitsburg, Brooklyn,
and other large eastern cities where
Mr.. Warde has played this season
unite in according him place above
aud beyond that occupied by any
predecessor in Che part.
AS llichelieu, which will be seen
on Tuesday night, Mr.. Warde has
achieved a reputation OF the highest
class. The part is so Numerically
different from that of the Roman
Father portrayed in virginius, that it
is difficult to realize the same indi-
vidual in the two roles, but Mr..
Warde's Interpretation of the crafty
cardinal is said TO rank in merit with
that of any contemporary.
In Julius Cesar, Wednesday night,
Mr. Warde assumes the part Of Bru-
tus, of whom even his bitterest enc
my pronounced the immortal words,
"And say to all the world, this was a
man." The patriotic senator, the
close friend, The brave soldier, Bru-
tus, finds in Mr.. Warde a most
worthy representative. 1t was as
Brutus that he made his most EN-.
phatic success at the Dramatic Festi-
val in Cincinnati three years ago.
Thursday night as Galba the Glad
iator, Mr.. Warde will be seen in
part written expressly for and created
by him. or II, it is at this time suf-
ilcieut to merely quote the words of
the Cincinnati Gazette, which pro-
claimed his rendition of the part "a
work of dramatic art never surpassed |
on the American stage"
Richard III, which since its first
production at Shakespere's own
theatre in 1896, has been the favorite
role OF all robust tragedians, begin
ming with Richard Durbage, the ere
ltor Of the character, is play in
which Mr.. Warde has won renown.
The version of the piece used by him
Is entirely his own, and differs ma
Ierially from that played by any 9th
err tragedian.
"Delicate Ground, "a charming COM
.dy from The French, and "Katharine
lnd Petruchio" viii form a double
comedy bill for the matinee in place
If The "Honeymoon" as announced
md will give opportunity to Mr..
Narde and Miss Blair 10 appear in
characters which cannot fail TO i'm
press the spectators pleasurably.
